Do you know a WILPFer whose commitment and passion could help them be a valuable national board member? Maybe you?
Now is the time to step up!
In the 2020 critical election year, WILPF US is striking out in a new and more strategic direction with more cohesive program work.
Can you or someone you know help advance our work by bringing passion and clear sightedness, ideas and energy, to the WILPF US Board?
The deadlines for this year's elections are weeks away: We call on you to take action!
Inform yourself about the qualifications for board members -- and nominate or
apply!
The elections are coming this fall: Help guide WILPF's future!
WILPF's membership is growing, and our influence is on the rise. Board participation helps move WILPF forward.
Nominate or run for one of the eight open positions.
Board members determine the direction and work of WILPF US in multiple ways:
- Make policy decisions and take actions for program, membership building, and fund-raising;
- Participate in WILPF US deliberations on policy, budget, and other issues;
- Help shape and develop WILPF at the national level;
- Develop respectful working relationships with sister board members.
Board membership comes with many benefits!
- Leadership growth: Whether fairly new to leadership or having played a leadership role for many years, board members develop new skills and enjoy the stretch of spreading leadership wings.
- Personal growth: Enjoy increasing confidence. As your abilities grow, so do you!
- Mentorship and guidance: Board members are not alone! Former board members have agreed to advise new board members as desired.
- Enjoy working relationships with other intelligent, energetic, and talented women like yourself.
- Be a part of change! WILPF needs a full board as we navigate these historic times. Our unique outlook links corporate greed and patriarchy to militarization and war. WILPF is urgently needed in the peace movement!
Do you know of a WILPFer you'd like to nominate for a board position?
You can nominate a qualified candidate, helping them to realize that they could fill such a leadership role! Link Or apply yourself for one of the open positions.
